Early Enrichment #9: Winter Wonderland

In Nebraska, we get to experience the wonderful world of snow each winter, but can you imagine what it is like for people who have never seen snow before?

Check out this Panda, who has never seen snow before!

If you had a pen pal somewhere who had never seen winter, how would you describe it to them? What would you tell them to give them a clear idea of what the season is like where you live? This week’s Early Enrichment activity is to describe and record winter. Look outside to get ideas or use these questions to help you.

Weather:What is the weather like in the Winter? Is it always like that? What is normal winter weather like?

People in Winter:What kinds of things do people do to help them get through winter?How is this different from what they do at other times of the year?

Animals in the Winter:What kinds of things do other animals do to get through winter?
What did you learn from your study of winter? Do you think you can describe winter better now.
